How very verbose. Isn't vim designed as a terse, efficient, no-nonsense text editor? http://vim.runpaint.org/basics/saving-a-file/ for example, gives me several screens full of jabber, broken into Problem, Solution, and Discussion, plus the ubiquitous Needless Comment Form as on every page. All this fluff, and :w is mentioned only in a user-added comment.

I don't mean to say you can't learn anything from this document, just that you could do a lot better with ':help tutorial' and maybe a googled cheatsheet. The tutorial really only takes half an hour, just like it promises.
